Feelin' great and can't shut up.

Hey, it’s 2:06am right now and I’m still clicking away at the comp. boy oh boy where to I start? I stumbled across a great travel story today. It’s made me realize what a huge world this is, if I have the time, why not pack up my bags and go, take a large dose of fukitol and fly away. I’ve got 3 weeks off before school… why not eh?

I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before, just needed a push I guess, a little boredom here in Stratford is another catalyst :) My family isn’t too big on travelling. They did go back to China to visit the relatives. (which I also need to do sometime soon). I talked to my grandparents on the phone the other day… gosh I miss them, and all my cousins, growing up before my ears. Times away!!! WHOOOSHHH and they’re not getting any younger… unfortunately my financial situation won’t allow me to go the whole 180 degrees, 2008 Grandma, here I come!

I sat and looked at a map of the world for a half hour, deciding on the perfect place to go … I know… a weird way to travel you might think; Traveling for the sake of traveling, and not for the destination. BAAAAHHHH I say, is that a crime? I like airplane food!! That’s such a bad joke, I’m sorry.

Travelling anywhere outside of ones normal realm is good, must give a reflection on what one already pocesses (I’m really lucky, love you all) or some other kind of epiphany (no doubt something way cool), especially to travel alone for the first time… perks me right up when I think about it.

Back to the map… geeez what a wide selection… heck of a lot more historical background than this place, yet Canada is still one of the best places to live... Damn right!! We’ve got syrup. Yet perhaps it’s the simplicity of this country that makes it so welcoming to those who seek refuge from a long and complicated past. My sights are set on Europe for now. Not all of Europe, that wouldn’t be fair. I like the looks of Portugal, Spain, France, maybe Switz. and the surrounding places, then off to San Marino (which by the way has some of the most beautiful coins in the world), then down to Italy. Now I just need to get a ticket for next month… is that possible, lazy me!! Must plan ahead better!!

I’ll appreciate anybody with some experience in travel to give me some tips and recommend a good start on finding discount student airfare. Please please and please.

I could go on forever, but I think I’ve had enough for tonight. Thanks for reading and fill me in on how you’ve been.

PS: My endorphin level was exceedingly high today… like the same old songs on my mp3 sounded like the first time I’ve ever heard them, but better because I can sing along while biking with no hands hehe... Lots of bugs out today… undeniably ate a few. “Freebird” by Skynrd seemed more beautiful than ever. Even got a little red-eyed listening to it, kinda surprised myself.
